Was thinking about or looking at some Franz Kline and missing playing with real paint. Decided to take the iPad in hand and play about somewhere near his sandbox. I think I'm too representational for real abstraction (number 3 anyone?) but I could easily see making some big work with paint like this. It's really down to the joy of making marks, of paint. Trying to paint something utterly non-representational is harder than people think. Every time I've tried, there's usually at least one kind of obvious suggested subject. Even if I wasn't thinking of anything, there it is. One of my earliest abstracts, maybe my first still hangs on my wall. I remember bringing it along to a furry convention of all things and someone there offered to buy it. Didn't want to sell it. Still don't. I had "Pollock" on in the background and had just finished some other representational work and suddenly wanted to do SOMEthing else. I did that. Just fingers. Still like it. These are all about texture. Maybe if I do more, I'll work more on subject or lack thereof. Til then, there's these.
